WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The impression
Is strong here that ex-senator Window had
a trade with Gov. Davis in his recent con-
test for the senatorship. This impression
has not been removed by any information
OF the affair coming from Senator McMil-
Ian. He plainly charges Window with
having gone back on him dead" This
lngratitnde on WINDOWS part is due wholly
to blind Selfshness. McMillan's friends
stood by w ndom in 1883 as long as they
could ana some OF them refused even in the
nnal excitement 10 vote for Sabin. There
mas never been more than formal friendship
between Sabin and Mcmillan in Washing
Ton or at home and Window cannot justly
say that Mcmillan lent the slightest strength
TO SabinS underground boom before VIM
dom was let down and out The plain un-
vanished truth is that Window is willing
10 go back on anybody to get back into
pubic life. He has in all probability made
some sort Of terms with 4 few of Davis
friends, but it is doubted. by those who
know Davis best if the latter is party in the
SilghteSt degree to any understanding with
Window. The real trouble is Window
don't know the people of Minnesota and he
wants 10 tie up with somebody who does
know them. In 1855 he refused to go to
st. Paul and steer his fight, because, as he
then frankly confessed he hardly knew a
dozen members of the legislature Since
then he has been deyotng his time
and mind to Mexican railroads
and shpbuilding. He knows fewer
public men in Minnesota than he did four
years ago. His presence, at st. Paul this
winter has been solely in order to be intro
duced to the representative men who now
hONA in fhA
rushed out 10 st. Paul IN 1888, at the last
moment he found himself in such an
awkward fix that he remarked as he LETT
town: II feel like a boy that has split his
breecheS." Now Mr. Window presents the
ridiculous spectacle of an ex-senator. eX-
secretary and eN-StateSman trying 10 bor-
row OF one of his old-time enemies little
familiarity with his own state and her peo-
pie. There never was q man i'm Mime
sofa who knew personally so many of the
cltlZenS OF The state, nor who knew SD ac-
oarately and thoroughly all her various re-
sources as Gov. Davis does. Windom NAV
We'll try 10 hitch his little political chestnut
ON &c Davis coat-tails. If he ever gets back
into political life that will be the only way
he can do il. But it will not be done IN
that way, or at all. Iynatius Donnelly Is
more likely 10 be the next Republican Sena-
tor from Minnesota than William Window.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9S.--The return of
lgnatiuS Donnelly TO the Republican fold
has caused stir here. There Is no sur.
prise. The time has gene by for that But
there is, strange as it may appear. great
deal of admiration expressed for Mr.. Don
nelly in spite of all incongrutieS connected
with the event. Said Milo White:
It's funny, but there is no use denying
that Donnelly is power in any party. He is
tie brightest speaker in the state, and on the
stump or i'll congress he was man the state
could be proud of. But our peope viii never
have faith in his political integrity and judg-
ment. ....
knute Nelson regards Donnellys return
to the fold as fitting poltent to accom-
pany the election of Gov. Davis to the
senate. Col. Villas said:
Ignntius Donnelly can change more votes
By stump speech than any man ever knew.
BeTond that J. seldom make any remarks
about MIR. Donnelly. He is delightful man
socially, and in literature he is worthy of
high praise
Mai. Strait says:
Now, isn't that funny? I am not surprised.
/ will give oh, ONO to an man who is. The
thing that puzzles II e is to know where he
will flop next. It's like Pope's line, 'Man
never is, but always to be best" Where
Donnelly has been or is don't bother me- but
] have always Il little curiosity 10 see what
he's 2oingto do EeXt.
